I don't think I stated my problem clearly. Once I build modules with 
gensuitemodule.py I am able to make the call as I (more or less) 
normally would. But I am left with several k of python code that I 
don't necessarily need or want. Somewhere in the files created by 
gensuitemodule.py Python sends the appleevent "misc, dosc, 
"----":"workspace.foo", &tran:63464" to "LAND". That event is 
identical to the one sent by the applescript one liner I can write to 
do this job except for the &tran which is replaced with &subj:'null'()

For instance, in UserTalk (which bears a striking resemblance to 
Python) there is the following call: appleevent("LAND", "misc", 
"dosc", "----", "workspace.foo") which is pretty self explanatory.

What I want is the python version of this one liner and I can't seem 
to figure out where I go for this.
